We Are YOUR farmers:

The ladies of Iowa Farm Fresh Meats.

We are fifth- and sixth-generation farmers of east-central Iowa, contained within the Mississippi River Basin. 

Jamie grew up in a more conventional model of farming, but has been transitioning the family farm into a more regenerative model of animal production for about a decade due to the indisputable health of every facet:  the land, animals and humans we serve.  

Our goal is to eliminate the carbon footprint of meat production. 

The grass-fed and grass-finished lamb and beef is produced on rolling hills of clover, grass, alfalfa and whatever forbs the cattle choose to eat.  They get new, fresh grass daily.  Sometimes even twice a day. 

The pastured pork is fed non-GMO grain and these happy piggies live largely in the timber where they disrupt the earth and eliminate brush and weeds while living their free-range and contented lives.  

The pastured poultry is moved to fresh grass daily in their portable cages (as protection from predators), leaving behind a trail of fertilizer, and always have choice access to non-GMO grain as well.  

The true heroes of the farm are the laying hens.  These girls cover miles in a day, cleaning up the pasture of weed seeds, bugs that inhibit production in the cattle, and scratching the fertilizer (cow pies:) into the dirt, making it readily available for grass growth in the next cattle rotation.  Plus, they make delicious eggs!  

We do have our fair share of trials, including weather, the market and the ever-present shortage of time.  This is nothing new to us, we've been doing this for our entire lives.  

However, we have a clear vision and mission no matter what the day may bring, and that includes the ability to feed YOU, making any sacrifice worth it!  We cannot wait to meet you at our next pickup date:)
